<p>[QUOTE="phankins11, post: 2199079, member: 70703"]So not sure if I'm going about this the right way or not. One of my weaker traits is memory...so its hard for me to look at a book and remember a specific year and mm has a certain possible varieties for it...I tend to retain stuff after I experience it. I.e. I know when I get my change back to look for 1992 and 1992 D close AMs and 1998, 99 and 2000 wide AMs because I've looked for that variety, I understand the details behind it, etc..</p><p><br /></p><p>So this is a two part question....</p><p><br /></p><p>A. What's your method of looking through a $20 pile of cents...</p><p><br /></p><p>B. I'm first separating them into decades, then into years and will methodically look through each year\mm in Cherrypicker's guide to see what I can find for that year.
